Does benadryl (diphenhydramine) help to lessen the symptoms of vertigo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately not. : While it can lead to sedation, typically it is not a first line option for vertigo. Ultimately it depends on the cause of the vertigo. Occasionally anti inflammatory agents or other meds are necessary to help.
